Company Description:

Tiggo Care is a domiciliary care start-up in Putney delivering household assistance, companionship, and personal care to older people. We strongly believe the benefits of receiving care in a familiar setting enables individuals greater personal choice and control, while maintaining independence and a high quality of life. We want to facilitate this by delivering exceptional care to those individuals who wish to remain at home where it is safe to do so.

Tiggo Care uniquely provides all staff with company branded bicycles, which are used by employees to travel between appointments. Staff are welcome to use these bikes to travel to and from work should they wish.
